About

WINE. I report on the wine industry for several trade magazines, covering numerous regions in Italy, France, Portugal, Austria, Greece, Romania, Israel, South America, Germany and Spain. I hold the Advanced Certificate in Wine & Spirits from the WSET, and am always looking to add to my travels and knowledge. Favorite grape: Cabernet Franc.

TRAVEL. Some of my wine travels include lifestyle & cultural travel, a beat I covered for The International Herald Tribune while living in Rome, Italy, and various guidebooks. City I can’t get enough of: Palermo.

HOME TURF. In and about New York City, I cover arts & culture, community development and property for The Wall Street Journal and amNewYork. My particular interest is historic preservation and community affairs … have subway map, will travel. Favorite topic: toss up between historic properties and photography.
